Sometimes people who adamantly assert an opinion or view don't even hold it themselves.

Our focus is our reality. What we choose to focus on becomes our world. It produces our thoughts, values, attitudes, and beliefs.

When we rise above our temptations and resist them, we exercise self-control. And that's when we experience true freedom and emotional health.

Whenever you are questioning a person's desire for something, consider what he does, not necessarily what he says.

Freedom is the crux of self-respect. It is difficult to feel good about ourselves when we are unnaturally dependent on someone or something.

True freedom is not about being able to do whatever we feel like doing; rather, it is about being able to do what we truly want to do, in spite of what we feel like doing at the moment.

The next time you make a snap judgment about a situation, take a few moments to understand an opposing viewpoint.

Never ask advice from someone who has something at stake or something to lose from your decision. The more objective the person is the greater value you should place on the input.

Whenever you are dealing with someone or something of unknown value the first one who places a value on it establishes its worth.

Let us conduct ourselves so that all men wish to be our friends and all fear to be our enemies.

We do not see through our eyes alone.

Success is not success in an individual endeavor. Success is simply to practice the dharma impeccably.

Yet there are some resting-places, / Life's untroubled interludes; / Times when neither past nor future / On the soul's deep calm intrudes.

Basically, I wasn't properly socialized, so it made sense to do physics.

We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.

I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara-I'll think about it tomorrow.

Saying 'no' or even 'stop' is the hallmark of the professional you want on your team.
